If last year's Phoenix team had lost Stoudamire, do you think they would have the same record as the Suns do now, better record, or worse?

Definately worse.


Suns last year had no bench and Defense couldn't be found in their dictionary.

Overall the Sun's are less talented but have a better team. Guys like Richardson and Johnson are talented but they were being limited to spot up shooters on offense. This season, they lose talented players like JJ and Q, but they got back some much needed depth, and guys who can play defense and still score pretty well off the ball.

Last year without Amare would definitely be worse. Much worse. This year is an improvement.

I don't think they are less talented, per se. I think they have a less talented starting lineup, but as a team they have more talent than they did last year. I agree with what else you say here though.
